Is Tetris the Killer Mobile App?
Om Malik wonders whether Tetris is really worth $137 million? That's what Jamdat paid for a 15 year license to the venerable game, the Pong of PC gaming. I wonder what the value of Lotus was when they first came up with 1-2-3.
From Om Malik's blog:
"Now I love Tetris as much as the next guy, but I won’t pay $137 million for it. But Jamdat would, and did! MobilePlaya points out that “Tetris could be the perfect mobile game,” and lauds the Jamdats’s $137 million purchase of Blue Lava Wireless. The deal gives Jamdat a 15-year worldwide license for all Tetris properties. Jamdat is flush with cash these days it seems."
And don't forget that Tetris rulez! The top selling app in the UK for the last 12 months.
